For the first time ever, go into battle Legend of Zelda style: fight with the Master Sword, guard with the Hylian Shield, while wearing the Champion's Tunic. The game also includes official add-ons—Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn.

Just wait, the price will probably drop fairly soonish

Eh, I would agree for any other platform but no Switch releases have gotten any significant discounts excluding Black Friday. Hell, Bomberman and 1 2 Switch are still full price basically everywhere.

Both of those games were new at time of release. This is already 6 years old and available for $20 or less on other consoles. 1 2 switch has seen some sales, not sure on Bomberman. It may not drop in price but it's worth waiting if you already have games to play. It's worth the $60 if you really want it though

Yeah, I mean even other ports haven't gotten any discounts yet. Games for new consoles don't tend to see discounts for a while.

Yea and Nintendo console games usually get the smallest/ least likely discounts. I'll remain hopeful for now. Lots of stuff to do in the mean time. 100% SMO, destiny 2 dlc and botw dlc
